ABOUT THE COURSE
Anxiety is often experienced as overwhelming, confusing, and deeply personal.
This course offers a grounded and supportive approach to understanding and working with anxiety.
Rather than trying to eliminate anxiety, we learn to:

understand what is happening in the body and mind
recognise patterns of thought and emotional response
respond in a more steady and supportive way

Drawing from both Western psychology and yogic wisdom, this course works across the different layers of our experience — body, breath, mind, and awareness.
Through a combination of:

gentle movement and somatic practices
breathwork and nervous system regulation
psychoeducation and reflective inquiry
guided awareness and meditation

you will begin to develop a more integrated and steady relationship with anxiety.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Over 8 weeks you will explore:

understanding the nervous system
anxiety and the stress response
grounding and regulation techniques
yoga practices for anxiety
breath and body awareness
mindfulness and meditation
emotional resilience
practical tools for overwhelm
working more skilfully with anxious thoughts

WHAT YOU MAY GAIN

a more grounded and compassionate relationship with yourself

This half-day retreat is designed to support you to re-establish your connection to yourself and gently restore an exhausted or overwhelmed nervous system, while building a deeper understanding of your inner world and what you need to feel supported, safe, and resourced.
This is a trauma-responsive, clinically grounded therapeutic experience, held within a clear and intentional safety structure. The day is carefully paced and guided to ensure you are not overwhelmed, exposed, or destabilised. Instead, each element supports regulation, choice, and a sense of control within your own experience.
Facilitated by sisters Billie Atherstone & Pip Atherstone-Reid
Two highly experienced practitioners in trauma, mental health, and nervous system regulation, offering a safe, structured and deeply supportive therapeutic experience.
You will be guided through psychoeducation, somatic practices, and integrative therapies in a way that supports both understanding and embodied change—without pressure to share or go beyond your capacity. This is a space where your nervous system is supported to settle, your experience is respected, and safety is actively created and maintained throughout.

Gentle trauma responsive Kundalini Yoga
Experiential psychoeducation with a personalised Polyvagal Profile Care Plan
Individualised Acupuncture and Auricular Therapy with senior TCM practitioner, Pip Atherstone-Reid
Sound & Mantra
Guided journaling and integration
Movement and Qigong for regulation, vitality and grounding
Meditation
A nourishing lunch with time to rest and connect
A take home goodies bag

Past Participant
“Thank you for yesterday. Spending those hours with you both in such a held space reminded me that I can come back to myself, that I can slow things down, and, most importantly, that I have the tools to help me do this. Feeling this in my body—while knowing this will take time, patience and work—is reassuring beyond belief. So, thank you.”
A Multidisciplinary, Therapeutic Approach

The space is clinically supervised, with over 20+ years of experience each in working with trauma, mental health, and nervous system regulation.

This retreat is suitable for those experiencing:

Stress, burnout, or nervous system exhaustion
Anxiety, overwhelm, or shutdown
A desire to better understand and support their nervous system

Trauma Recovery Day Retreat FAQs
Who is this retreat for?
This retreat is for anyone experiencing the effects of stress, anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, trauma, PTSD, complex trauma, nervous system dysregulation, or simply feeling disconnected from themselves. It is suitable for beginners and no previous yoga, qigong, or meditation experience is required.
Do I need to have experienced major trauma to attend?
No. Trauma exists on a spectrum. Many people attend because they feel chronically stressed, anxious, exhausted, emotionally overwhelmed, or disconnected from their bodies. The retreat offers practical tools for nervous system regulation and emotional wellbeing, regardless of your history.
Is this a therapy group?
No. While the retreat is informed by current trauma research, polyvagal theory, somatic practices, yoga therapy, and Chinese Medicine, it is not group psychotherapy. Participants are never required to share personal stories or experiences.
Will I be asked to talk about my trauma?
No. There is no expectation that you disclose personal experiences. Everything we offer is invitational, and you are free to participate in whatever way feels supportive and comfortable for you.
What if I feel anxious about attending?
This is very common. Many people who attend are initially nervous about joining a group. We place a strong emphasis on creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment where you can participate at your own pace.
What will we do during the day?
The day includes trauma-informed yoga and qigong, nervous system psycho-education, grounding practices, breathwork, mindfulness, guided relaxation, acupuncture and ear seeds, practical take-home resources, and opportunities for rest and reflection. All activities are offered as invitations and can be adapted to suit your needs.
Do I need any yoga or qigong experience?
Not at all. The practices are gentle, accessible, and designed to support nervous system regulation rather than physical performance. Everything is offered with choice and flexibility.
What is trauma-informed yoga and qigong?
Trauma-informed yoga and qigong are gentle and empowering approaches to movement that prioritise safety, choice, body awareness, and nervous system regulation. Rather than focusing on achieving particular postures, the emphasis is on helping you reconnect with your body in a way that feels safe, supportive, and sustainable.
How can acupuncture help with trauma recovery?
Acupuncture may help support nervous system regulation, reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep, calm the body’s stress response, and promote a greater sense of wellbeing. During the retreat, participants receive a gentle acupuncture or ear seed treatment designed to support relaxation and integration.
What should I bring?
Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle. Yoga mats, bolsters, blankets, and all other equipment are provided.
What if I need to take a break during the day?
You are welcome to take breaks whenever you need. We encourage participants to listen to their bodies and honour their own capacity throughout the retreat.
What will I take home from the retreat?
You will leave with practical tools for nervous system regulation, a personalised Polyvagal Map, simple yoga, qigong, breathwork and mindfulness practices that you can use in everyday life, a greater understanding of your stress responses, and a deeper sense of connection to yourself.
Can this retreat replace therapy or medical treatment?
No. The retreat is designed to complement, not replace, professional medical, psychological, or therapeutic care. Many participants find it works beautifully alongside counselling, psychotherapy, psychology, or other health supports.
Who facilitates the retreat?
The retreat is facilitated by Billie Atherstone, Somatic Therapist, Yoga Therapist and Trauma Recovery Program Facilitator, together with Pip Atherstone-Reid, Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Yoga Teacher. Together they bring over 40 years of combined experience supporting people through healing, recovery, and nervous system regulation.
What is the size of the group?
We intentionally keep numbers small, with a maximum of 10–11 participants, to create a supportive, comfortable, and personalised experience for everyone attending.

Restorative Yoga & Yoga Nidra Workshop in North Fitzroy Melbourne
Sacred Rest is a deeply nurturing restorative yoga workshop designed to support nervous system regulation, deep relaxation and emotional wellbeing through restorative yoga, somatic movement, therapeutic breathing practices, crystal bowl sound healing and iRest Yoga Nidra.
Created by Yoga Australia Senior Teacher Rachel Hanrahan, this immersive experience offers a gentle and accessible space for deep rest, healing and restoration for all levels and abilities.
Through carefully guided restorative practices, participants are invited to slow down, soften and reconnect with the body’s innate capacity for healing and repair.
This workshop combines restorative yoga, somatic awareness, crystal singing bowls and evidence-based iRest Yoga Nidra to support parasympathetic nervous system activation — often known as the “rest and digest” state — helping the body and mind access profound states of calm, repair and renewal.

The Healing Power of Rest
Modern life often keeps the nervous system in states of stress, pressure and overstimulation, contributing to anxiety, sleep difficulties, fatigue, burnout and physical tension.
Restorative yoga practices can help activate the relaxation response within the nervous system, creating space for healing, digestion, emotional regulation and restoration.
Many people experience benefits such as:

Improved sleep quality
Reduced stress and overwhelm
Greater nervous system regulation
Deep relaxation and emotional grounding
Improved digestion and vitality
Increased clarity, creativity and inspiration

Everyone’s experience is unique.

What To Expect
Restorative Yoga
Gentle supported postures designed to encourage deep physical relaxation, nervous system restoration and embodied rest.
Somatic Movement & Therapeutic Breathwork
Simple movement and breathing practices to help soften tension, regulate the nervous system and reconnect with the body.
Crystal Bowl Sound Healing
Crystal singing bowls create soothing vibrational soundscapes that support relaxation, stillness and meditative awareness.
iRest Yoga Nidra
The workshop concludes with evidence-based iRest Yoga Nidra — a guided meditation practice designed to support deep rest, self-awareness and nervous system healing.

A Ritual of Self Care & Self Compassion
Sacred Rest is an invitation to pause, soften and reconnect with yourself through rest, stillness and nervous system nourishment.
This workshop is a beautiful act of self-care and self-compassion within a supportive and restorative environment.

Testimonial:
“This course feels so nurturing and deeply healing for my trauma. Billie is teaching me to feel and stay present with my body rather than trying to escape. It can be challenging but I felt very held and supported all the way through. The course moves very slowly and the practices build gradually, giving time to create a deep sense of safety and trust in the experience. It has a very gentle and nurturing feel throughout, even with the more challenging practices. Billie is very present and attuned to us all, she observes us while holding space for us and still gives individual guidance while being in the group. It feels like she knows what we all need. I will definitely be doing this course again and highly recommend it to anyone who has experienced any form of trauma.” KT

You are welcome to come for the whole gathering or simply drop in for part of the afternoon. Please also help us spread the word — invite past teachers, members, students and friends who may love to reconnect and be part of this special celebration.

Evening Mantra & Music
From 7:00pm – 8:30/9pm
Close Saturday evening with mantra, music and community as we come together in the uplifting power of sound.
Music and mantra have always been an essential part of Kundalini Yoga — helping to open the heart, steady the mind, elevate the spirit and bring people together in shared vibration. This evening will honour that rich tradition with a beautiful gathering of Kundalini mantra, live music and collective voice.
Sun Hyland will be lovingly orchestrating the evening, drawing together teachers and musicians to create a heartful and uplifting experience. We will be joined by Paul, Jessica, Bonny and other members of the Kundalini House community as we celebrate 20 years of practice, sound, devotion and connection.
This will be a spacious and joyful way to complete the first day of the Kundalini Yoga Mini Fest — a chance to sing, listen, meditate, connect and feel the strength of community through mantra and music.
If you are a teacher or musician from the Kundalini House community and would love to be involved in this evening, please contact us. We would love to hear from you.

2:30pm – 4:15pm
Led by Billie Atherstone, this special session invites you into a deeper space of meditation, supported by live mantra and the collective energy of the group.
At the heart of Kundalini Yoga is the power of meditation. As a Raj Yoga, Kundalini Yoga offers direct and effective practices to steady the mind, awaken inner awareness and connect us with the vastness of who we are. In this session, we will come together to experience the strength, stillness and upliftment that can arise through shared practice.
Billie will guide a 60-minute Kundalini meditation focusing on the lotus of the heart — a practice of presence, devotion and inner connection. The live mantra will help carry the meditation, offering a beautiful sound current to support focus, steadiness and depth.
You will be encouraged to go at your own pace, rest when needed and participate in a way that feels sustainable for your body and nervous system. Whether you sit for the full meditation or move in and out of rest, you are invited to feel held by the group energy and the powerful meditative field that Kundalini Yoga can create.
This is a chance to honour the transformative depth of Kundalini Yoga practice — to quieten the mind, soften into the heart and remember the stillness and strength within.

In 2025, we both completed our Sound Healing qualifications through the Tibetan Vajrayana (Esoteric Buddhist) lineage under the guidance of Lama Tendar. This training laid the foundation for a practice that combines meditation, sound, and mindfulness to support deep rest and inner awareness.

Her work is informed by long-term study in psychology, anthropology, Buddhism and one to one mentorship with teachers from a range of contemplative and spiritual traditions.

If you are seeking stillness, looking to reconnect with your body, or wishing to deepen your meditation practice, we warmly invite you to join us for this powerful and restorative Meditative Sound Bath.
The session begins with gentle body awareness and guided meditation, allowing you to settle into the present moment and prepare for a deep state of relaxation and surrender. As the meditation unfolds, you will be immersed in the vibrations of sound.
Together, we will be using a range of traditional instruments, including Tibetan singing bowls, gong, vajra, and bell. These sacred instruments have long been used as supports for meditation, helping to quiet the mind, cultivate awareness, and create space for reflection and insight.
Through guided meditation, mantra, and the resonance of sound, we invite you to reconnect with your inner nature, cultivate compassion for yourself and others, and realign with a more mindful and virtuous way of being.
Meagan and I look forward to sharing this beautiful experience with you.

BOOK NOW
Join Alexander Technique teacher David Moore for a practical workshop exploring how walking patterns, posture, and movement habits influence foot health and whole-body wellbeing. Through guided observation, practical anatomy, and movement education, participants will learn strategies to improve alignment, reduce unnecessary strain, and move with greater ease and efficiency.
Suitable for anyone experiencing foot discomfort, postural concerns, mobility challenges, or simply wanting to better understand how their body moves.

Event Description
Walking is one of the most important movements we perform every day, yet many of us rarely consider how our walking habits affect our feet, joints, posture, and overall wellbeing.
In this practical and informative workshop, we will explore the relationship between foot health, walking patterns, and whole-body coordination. Using principles from the Alexander Technique, participants will gain insight into how posture and movement habits influence the way forces are distributed throughout the body.
Common foot concerns such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, flat arches, over-pronation, and uneven gait patterns will be examined within the context of overall body alignment. Rather than focusing solely on isolated foot exercises, this workshop explores how improving postural organisation and movement patterns may help support long-term comfort and function.
Through guided exercises, demonstrations, and practical exploration, participants will learn to recognise movement habits that may contribute to unnecessary strain and discover more efficient ways of walking and moving.

What You Will Learn
Participants will explore:

How walking patterns affect foot health and body alignment
The relationship between posture, balance, and movement efficiency
Common causes of unnecessary strain on the feet and joints
Practical anatomy of the feet and lower body
Principles of the Alexander Technique and their application to walking
Strategies for improving gait patterns and coordination
How whole-body movement influences foot function

What You May Gain

Greater awareness of walking and movement habits
Improved posture and body alignment
Reduced strain on feet, knees, hips, and back
Increased ease and comfort while walking
Better understanding of foot mechanics
Practical tools to support long-term movement wellbeing
Improved confidence in everyday movement

About the Alexander Technique
The Alexander Technique is an educational approach that helps people improve posture, coordination, balance, and movement efficiency. By developing greater awareness of habitual movement patterns, participants learn to move with less tension and greater ease throughout daily activities.
This workshop applies Alexander Technique principles to walking, foot function, and whole-body alignment.

Gong Puja Sound Journey: Echoes of the Earth
With
Cathy Loughrey, Saskia Cleary, Virginia Alexandra, Praveen Hewage and Geoff Charles
Saturday 17 October 2026
1:30pm – 5:45pm
BOOK HERE
Gong Puja is a profound sacred ceremony which promotes deep rest, healing and transformation. It brings us back to the remembrance of our original state – the oneness of creation.
During this Gong Puja Sound Journey we will align ourselves with the cosmos with a four hour Puja celebration in which the gongs are played continuously for 3 ½ hours. The word Puja means to honour, it is the act of showing reverence and recognising the seed of GOD which resides within.
The GONG is the sacred universal sound. With each strike a newness comes into being. In the cosmic resonance our nervous system and aura may become vibrant and strong, and a deep state of relaxation, calmness and inner stillness can be experienced.
The individual’s journey may differ as the immersion in the sound works on healing aspects in each of us. A meditative state, or deep sleep or a dream state may occur reasonably quickly. For some the experience of a deeper state through submerging into the cosmic sounds of the gongs may occur slowly. Whatever is encountered is perfect so trust the process.
Vibrate the cosmos and the cosmos will open the door and show the way! Clear, relax and hear the whisper of the infinite and allow transformation.
Event details for Gong Puja.
We are delighted to welcome you to Gong Puja, a sacred ceremony with gongs taking place at Kundalini House.
This is an all afternoon event on Saturday 17 October 2026 from 1:30pm to 5:45pm.
Please be advised that attendance is only possible for the full event.
Your hosts for this event will be Cathy Loughrey, Saskia Cleary, Virginia Alexandra, Praveen Hewage and Geoff Charles, with the event organiser Kundalini House.
Please arrive in plenty of time to complete your registration and set-up your mat. The door will be closed at 1:30pm. Gong Puja will commence at 1:30pm and conclude at 5:45pm.
We are planning a special event with an afternoon of magic where you can rest, relax and meditate immersed in the sound of the gongs. Closer to the event date we will advise the gong set-up.
Gong Puja is an individual experience, and as with a Gong Sound Bath Immersion, the experience of each person in the room maybe quite different. Trust your experience is perfect for you.
